> [@PastTense](#): > > County records lag behind somewhat. And considering the way house prices have jumped in the last year, the current market value is probably $300,000 or more. That’s a heck of a lot of cash to leave laying on the table when you know you are going to be living on the run. I wonder if she was working against a timeline before he was moved out of her reach. ---

Frankly a better approach might have been to refinance the house. A lot of the internet refinancing companies advertise fast results. ---

I may have given Vicky too much credit. She threw away a lot of money that will be needed later. She may have planned the escape. But I think Casey is the type that will assert his own ideas. He was reportedly abusive with his gf in 2015. > [@](#): > > During pre-sentence reporting in 2015, he threatened his ex-girlfriend and her sister, “warning that if he ever got out, he would kill them and that he wanted police to kill him,” the Marshals Service said.

They could use a wheelchair to counteract his height. Sufficiently disguised to alter his appearance and with her as his “caretaker,” his height might not be an issue. ---

This caper has Lifetime Movie written all over it.\* \*Alabama does have a law prohibiting criminals from profiting from their crimes through the sale of books, movies or other entertainment - but it applies only to [“crimes of moral turpitude”](https://www.aclualabama.org/en/crimes-moral-turpitude). So unless she and her sidekick commit acts such as murder, sodomy, treason or endangering the water supply, they could eventually cash in. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Cute idea, but this Bonnie & Clyde do not have the criminal genius vibe. She seems to be pretty good at planning. She did a great job on the prison break, has at least $90,000 in cash, and thoughtfully purchased an AR-15 and a shotgun ahead of time. As of now, nobody has any idea where they may have gone to. ---

Is it known if they consummated their relationship before the escape? I’m curious whether this is even possible in a normal prison, where it should be impossible if there are proper checks and backups. Clearly there were some security flaws in this particular jail. ---

So far nobody has been saying that. Seems to have been mostly phone contact. It was apparently an open secret among prisoners that he was getting extra food and privileges because of her. Hard to say tho, because she was high enough in the ranks that she could ignore rules and no one called her on it. ---
